The Executive Chairman of the Ogun State Internal Revenue Service (OGIRS), Mr. Olugbenga Olaleye, has charged members of the Association of Senior Civil Servants of Nigeria (ASCSN), to contribute their quota towards revenue generation for the State.

This development, according to him would enable government deliver more on its electoral promises 

Olaleye said this while playing host to the executive members of the Association who paid a courtesy visit to his office at OGIRS HQ in Abeokuta.

The OGIRS boss urged residents to take ownership of the state by generating revenue for government through prompt payment of appropriate taxes.

“I want to charge you to challenge your members to think, talk about the state in all they do and not just after personal gains that is capable of destroying the future.  Ogun state is just scratching the surface, we have not access 50 per cent  revenue capability of Ogun State” he said

In his remarks, the Chairman ASCSN Ogun State Chapter, Comrade Olude Isa Owolabi, lauded the achievements of the agency, for being the first in IGR drive among other states in Accountability Index 

Olude appealed that the drive to boost the state IGR be increased, for the new wage demand that would soon be presented to the State government to receive positive response.

In a vote of thanks, the ASCSN Secretary,  Comrade Adebiyi Olusegun appreciated the warm reception by the OGIRS Chairman and pledged a more robust working relationship and the readiness of every member to give their best in the course of building the state together.
